I'm on a really tight budget, so a WSM 14.5" is out of the question. Being laid off from my last job (Regional Sales Engineer) and starting my new career (Real Estate Agent).. times are tough.. Plus with all of this free time, I've been picking up new hobbies; like knife making and getting into more hobby interests (since I didn't have the time when I was working).. so Karate, Archery and BBQing have the main focus.
Any who, been thinking of making a Mini WSM.. With all of the reviews, it seems like the fuel cost will be less and the smaller size makes it convenient. The cost will be the same as my WSM 18.5" since I got my 18.5" used and it cost me about $75 when it was said and done.
So here comes the questions:
Smokey Joe.. Silver or Gold? I read the gold does not have the ash build up.. but gold model are hard to find.. so most like I will have to buy new ($40)... Silver are plentiful on Craigslist and can be had for $15-$25...
I don't have a Jigsaw, so I have to get one.. cost about $15-$20
Will painting the pot gives it better insolation? is it required for better temp control?
